2Corinthians:3:7-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now if the ministration of death ,
engraven with letters upon stones ,
was glorious ;
so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses ,
for the glory of his countenance ,
which is made void :
*
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory ?
*
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory ,
much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory .
*
For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified ,
by reason of the glory that excelleth .
*
For if that which is done away was glorious ,
much more that which remaineth is in glory .
*
Having therefore such hope ,
we use much confidence :
*
And not as Moses put a veil upon his face ,
that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void .
*
But their senses were made dull .
For ,
until this present day ,
the selfsame veil ,
in the reading of the old testament ,
remaineth not taken away (
because in Christ it is made void ).
*
But even until this day ,
when Moses is read ,
the veil is upon their heart .
*
But when they shall be converted to the Lord ,
the veil shall be taken away .
*
Now the Lord is a Spirit .
And where the Spirit of the Lord is ,
there is liberty .
*
But we all beholding the glory of the Lord with open face ,
are transformed into the same image from glory to glory ,
as by the Spirit of the Lord .
